    Current Situation


    (Recent updates are posted at the top of the Current Situation)

    At 0131 Hours the City of Riverside Fire Department was dispatched to a traffic collision on the freeway.  The Riverside Fire and Police dispatch was able to utilize the CHP website to determine there was a need for extrication and immediately responded a truck company, Battalion Chief and additional AMR unit.  The first arriving unit found two vehicles with major damage, and both requiring extrication of the occupants.  A rescue squad which is also equipped with extrication equipment along with Rescue 3 and two additional ambulances were dispatched at that time.  A total of four patients were treated, two of which had major injuries.  All four were transported to local hospitals.  The cause of the accident appears to be a wrong way driver.
